   A team is working on a microservices project with multiple services that depend on each other. They want to set up a CI pipeline that builds and tests each service independently, but also runs integration tests across services. They have limited CI resources and want to avoid redundant builds. Which strategy should they use?

   • ABuild and test only the changed service and skip integration tests.
   • BBuild and test all services in a single pipeline on every commit.
   • CRun integration tests in the pipeline of each service, duplicating the effort.
   • DBuild and test each service in a separate pipeline, and trigger a separate integration pipeline that runs only when all service pipelines pass.
